Hello, We are considering to use Bonjour stack on our product based on VxWorks/ARM platform. Can you please clarify the below questions?
Thank you for the response in advance.
First up, Bonjour is a marketing name that covers three different technologies:
RFC 3927 Dynamic Configuration of IPv4 Link-Local Addresses
RFC 6762 Multicast DNS
RFC 6763 DNS-Based Service Discovery
I presume you’re interested in the last two; the first is something that the underlying platform has to provide.
There are at least two implementations of mDNS / DNS-SD:
mDNSResponder, from Apple
Avahi
I can only speak to the mDNSResponder situation; if you’re interested in another implementation, you’ll need to discuss that with its vendor.
Where can I get the latest source for the stack?
Follow the Source Code link on the Apple Developer > Bonjour page.
Is there a commercial support available for the stack?
No.
When we run Klockwork (static analysis) tool, we see a lot of defects. Is there any plan to fix these issues?
If you believe you’ve found a bug in the implementation, you should file a bug report.
Please post your bug number, just for the record.
Share and Enjoy
